do you happen to know the name of a tood that sends keystrokes? I did a cpan search for java.lang.securitymanager and it didnt return a module, do you know the actual module to use. a search for security in the java module didnt return anything either. By the way, firefox can view the source of the java applets by right clicking and hitting view source on the applet. it returns it in the html that is generated on the page. Is there a way for perl to do this?
